@@waynearrington7240totally agree. I think Crawford had the long game in mind in looking at the possible rematch money. Honestly, a lot of folks are saying they don’t want to see it after Saturday. If he put the beat down and gave him a KO in the sixth or so, folks wouldn’t pay for it.

I’ve been a Crawford fan for years and was looking forward to seeing this fight, but watching the way Bud beat up Spence gave me no joy, only a profound feeling of sadness. A sadness much more than when I watched Larry Holmes beat up on Muhammad Ali while holding back the power of his punches. I hope those close to Errol Spence, being his trainer, manager, promoter and family do precisely as Stephen and Teddy are strongly advising and ensure that Errol Spence doesn’t go anywhere near a gym for 12 months.

What time stamp is this
Longtime hardcore Crawford fan here seriously concerned for Errol Spence’s health. Thank you Stephen A Smith for your passionate empathetic plea to both Errol and Terence to not even consider a rematch for at least a year. I completely agree and genuinely hope Errol takes time off or retires. I grew up in Philly and Meldrick Taylor was my favorite active fighter back then and i was watching his fight with Chavez in real time. That knockdown and what led to it was so brutal i could def understand the ref stopping the fight if it wasn’t basically over. But it was apparent that Meldrick wasn’t right after that and he never recovered from it just like Gerald MacClellan never recovered from his fight with Nigel Benn. A novice ref who barely spoke English allowed that fight to continue despite obvious signs something was very wrong. If Gerald still had the great Emmanuel Steward in his corner he would have stopped it for sure. Boxing is extremely dangerous and we don’t need to see a rematch. Rematches should he reserved for competitive fights or suspicious decisions not brutal one sided beatdowns like Bud did to Errol.

I will NEVER Forget that fight with Meldrick Taylor & Chavez, I wanted Meldrick to WIN SO FKIN BAD, and I think that was Richard Steele that took the Title from Meldrick at the final second, because Meldrick BEAT CHAVEZ. That was 1990, & you are right , Meldrick was not the same , his speech patterns clearly affected. Man I remember the Lou Duva camp he was in because back then Lou also had Evander in his stable all Olympians. I been a Bud Crawford admirer for years, back when he first started out and all his Fights were in Nebraska. I knew he would win, I just thought it would go 12 with Highlights in between the rounds and Bud would pull it out on points because of Errol's skill set. I respect both fighters and their families , the 24 Access videos /SHO but I never doubted Bud for a second. I was so glad he got away from Bob Arum who reminds me of the Ol' School Don King way of Jerking his Fighters

My heart was with with Spence, but as a boxing fan, I knew it was going to be trouble facing Crawford. Crawfords IQ, reflexes, instincts, and reaction time are naturally gifted. Crawford can slip punches and counter with precision. His power is underrated. Crawford dismantled Shawn Porter while Porter gave Spence a war. Spence also struggled with Kell Brook who’s also an outside and counter puncher. Crawford is just 5X times better than Brook. It’s disappointing, but tbh I wasn’t surprised from a boxing perspective. Spence’s aggressive forward style was tailor made for Crawford. If there’s a rematch, Spence will need to make some adjustments. Just not sure what those adjustments are at this point. Great career regardless.

I agree with you. I thought it would be 50/50 with Spence for the close win, just because of the size difference. But Crawford looked bigger and healthier and with all of those skills, there was no way he could be stopped. Bud is just on another level, period.

Porter is also a fighter who relies on putting pressure on his opponents, but nah he couldn’t with Crawford and that resonated with what type of high caliber boxer Crawford is

@@dukeholidainah you are wrong, Porter boxed beautifully that night and caused him way more problems than Spence because he knew he couldn't just walk forward and pressure Bud that was purely planned now once Bud thought he was down and then he started pushing forward more and ended up dropping him before his dad threw in the towel despite Porter clearly been able to continue

@@chrishaswell4405 Reading is fundamental. I never said Spence did a better job because it’s obvious that Crawford took it to another level against Spence like it was personal. Another thing I noticed about Porter was his ability to adapt. But even with him adapting, Crawford still schooled him because that’s how Crawford, as you say, “thought he was down”. My take on it was different. Porter should have never tried to box Crawford straight up. That’s how was getting picked a part. Crawford was actually up on all 3 judges scorecards against Porter but his cornerman tricked him by telling him he was losing so Crawford went out into the 10th round and took him out easy. That’s what I call dismantling. Something Spence didn’t do to Porter. Which is why I knew Spence was in trouble because they fight similar to each other.
I just love listening to Teddy Atlas..he really knows his stuff
As a former GG boxer myself, Bud had just never turned the volume up like he did! It's been there this whole time.

Teddy called it perfectly before the fight.👍🏾👍🏾
I'm glad you both said exactly what I'm thinking ? Spence looked sluggish and slow in videos of him on the bag before the fight ? Mixed with the car crash , retina , time out the ring and now a beating from hell ? Spence will never be the same again and I'm so sorry about that ! There's something not right ! Stay healthy Errol please my friend ! 🙏🥊🏴

Yup. I really had the feeling that Crawford just took Spence's heart out of his chest and crushed it. I felt sorry for Spence, and still do. It's a tough sport. If Spence's handlers just throw him back out there for another match with Crawford, they don't care about him. They care more about their own pocketbooks.

He should never fight Bud again imo. This loss has changed his trajectory for good. It’s really not worth the payday if you’re going to pay with your mental health in the future.
I said Spence was tailor-made for Crawford because of his one-dimensional fast-forward style. I love Spence but I appreciate the talent of Crawford more. He could adapt and his use of lateral movement and ability to switch stances made the difference.

Then how did Spence beat a good boxer like Danny Garcia? You'd figure Danny's camp would made some adjustment to their fight plan before the fight. Or Danny would've made some adjustment early in the fight to the pressure and 1, 2, and a hook pattern. I know Danny is no Bud, but this doesn't make sense. I'm not even going to mention Kells. They probably were already scared before they stepped into the ring. Spence is overrated.
Absolutely agree Stephen 🎉 It was a massacre you tell it like it is 👏👏👏👏👏
Bud Crawford has been on another level for a long time this is no secret. Errol Spence is also one of the most talented fighters I've seen in a long time. The way this fight was so lopsided was astonishing to me. I think that Errol Spence has suffered some brain damage. I know that Terence Crawford would win this fight anyway, but Errol Spence did not seem like his self. That was a nasty car accident. I'm surprised he only sustained the injuries that he did, maybe there was a little bit of a cover-up as far as the extent of his injuries.. I know I don't do conspiracy theories that much but this is kind of odd, because you saw the way he was talking right?

What impressed me the most was he listened to bomac every round and done exactly what bomac told him to do he executed it with precision
The ref deserves a lot of credit. I mean he saved Spence life cuz his team weren’t going to do it. It was about to get real nasty in there. Salute ref
At the end of the fight, you couldn't tell that Crawford was even in a fight whatsoever. He schooled Spence from the gate and made it look way too easy. Crawford is a beast and carried himself like a true champion. I couldn't believe how he walked through Spence and made him look like an amateur boxer. No rematch I hope, Spence will be broken down even more and might get sent into retirement or worse.

Roberto Duran beat up Sugar Ray Leonard. Leonard came back and won the rematch. Riddick Bowe beat up Evander Holyfield. Holyfield came back and won the rematch. All of those fighters are great, so you have to be a great fighter to come back and win. But, This recency bias has to stop. Whoever wins a fight is the greatest. Whoever loses it’s the worse loss ever. Whoever gets beat up is the worst beating ever.

I got about ten minutes in and I can’t take the cutting out of it all. Great interview to that point
Crawford gave Spence a pop quiz and he didn’t have any of the answers. He gave him a masterclass. Crawford carried him to make him suffer but gave him grace at same time and didn’t finish him. If Crawford had the might set if Spence , he might not be here. Crawford truly is respectable throw back to the golden era of boxing and he even used the term’ hurt business’. Respect to Crawford and team💪🏿Sounds like Stevie Wonder could drive better than Spence.😂Unfortunately Spence brought into his own hype because if he was a true lover of everything about the sport, he would’ve know he wasn’t ready.

Looking back on the fight, it would have been better if there was 15 seconds left in the 2nd round. Bc Bud would have finished him then. It would have prevented the annihilation we saw over 9 rds. And to think, Bud was showing Spence mercy. Bud never got out of 1st gear. Had no reason to. He actually carried Spence for 9 rds.

My wife and I were yelling “Stop the fight!” 2 rounds before the fight was stopped. You can tell when the fighter is not ready, not trained properly, can’t see the punches, can’t wait adjustments, has no defense, no answer, not competitive, and not recovered from a brutal accident. I blame the trainer for not trainer Spence, having too many fighter, and not stopping the fight.

When Foreman was going down, Ali stopped the attack instead of finishing him with additional blows. That is why he is the greatest. Foreman is still grateful for that. Fighting a weak opponent makes you a bully. That is why Foreman never got a rematch from Ali.

It's a crazy thing when it was Errol that said that Crawford wasn't going to make it to the rematch because of the beating he was going to give to him, before the fight.
I Love Teddy yes long winded but he’s passion is unmatched
Teddy Atlas has often said, the "special ones" have instincts. "PUNCHERS ARE BORN, NOT MADE." Crawford's instincts are that of a natural fighter who fights like you stole something from him; or, dare I say, his mother. "A cerebral vacuum." What a GREAT analogy. Bud is VICIOUS!!! LIBRA LOVE to TERENCE "BUD" CRAWFORD!!! #P4P#1
Porter even stated that the difference of when he fought Spence and when he fought Crawford was the fact that Crawford seemed to always be a few steps ahead of him. Basicly, Crawford can decode someone...see what they're trying to do and bate them and force them to have to change their gameplan...some are great and then some are elite.
That’s why Kenny Porter stopped the fight. It only takes 1 or 2 extra shots for danger to occur.
